We present an extraordinary, authentic witness to history – a commemorative metal box from the period of World War I, bearing the inscription in German „Aus eiserner Zeit” (From Iron Times) and the dates „1914-16”. This is not only a collector's item but above all a tangible fragment of an era that forever changed the face of Europe. The central element of the box is a proudly displayed eagle, whose symbolism refers to the emblem of the German Empire or Austria-Hungary. This bird, often used in the patriotic and military propaganda of the time, provides a distinct accent, emphasizing the importance and gravity of the "Great War." Plaques of this type were mass-produced as war souvenirs, often made of cast iron, and could adorn both monuments and private homes, becoming a testament to the memory of difficult times. The presented specimen bears a natural, many years' patina, giving it a unique, historical character. This is an excellent proposition for enthusiasts of militaria, the history of World War I, and collectors of unique souvenirs from the era.
